Bird’s-eye over Lee River valley from top-class home

Just a couple of miles from the city boundary, the house is on a choice site of 2.5 acres, elevated, with a south-easterly aspect and river views: little wonder that the current owner has a telescope in pride of place at one of the first floor, floor-to-ceiling box-bay windows, for surveying the scene beneath.
